Sharks!

Redd for hai?
Noe av det mest skremmende som kan skje, er at du svømmer og en skygge glir under deg og du føler noe røre benet ditt. I Miami, er det i 90 % av tilfellene en tarpon som svømmer forbi. De er store, ryggfinnen kan stikke opp av vannet, men de er helt ufarlige!




Crooks, thieves and bad realtors are the most aggressive sharks that you might meet in Miami Beach. Shark attacks are extremely rare. Shark attacks are uncommon throughout the world, although incidents have been reported in Australia, South Africa and to a lesser extent in Hawaii and California.

There have been some incidents in Florida but mostly in Palm Beach County. Reported shark attacks were rarely fatal and were usually caused or provoked by men that fed sharks as a new way to heighten adrenaline levels.

In 50 years, there have been 8 shark attacks in Florida and most of those took place in Northern Florida. If you are a diver, you may encounter small nurse sharks in Miami Beach which do not attack humans. Due to the rarity of shark attacks, focus is better spent on planning what to do when you are in town because coming across sharks in Miami Beach are the least of your problems.
